Updates:

Australia roared back by picking up six Indian wickets after conceding a four-run lead in their opening dig on day two at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG). Rishabh Pant's swashbuckling 61 off 30 deliveries could prove decisive, with Australia set to bat last on the surface as India still hold a lead of 145 but only have four wickets left to play with.

Prasidh Krishna and Mohammed Siraj shared three wickets each to bowl Australia out for 181 even as Jasprit Bumrah was off the ground for a prolonged time on day two at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG). Beau Webster top-scored with 57 but the hosts have conceded a first-innings lead of 4 runs.

India managed to strike four times in the first session of play to put themselves ahead on day two of the fifth and final Test against Australia at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG). The tourists also struck once after lunch as Prasidh Krishna got his second wicket of the innings, castling Alex Carey.

Team India, led by Jasprit Bumrah, have a big day two lined up at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) as they hope to wrest control of the proceedings in the fifth Test against Australia. With the tourists getting bowled out for 185 under tough batting conditions, the visiting captain struck early to remove Usman Khawaja, making life difficult for Australia.

With Bumrah getting involved in a verbal war with Sam Konstas, the right-arm speedster was fired up and hence, got the better of Khawaja. He is likely to feed off the same on day two and Australia face a litmus task of handling Bumrah and co. on a green wicket in Sydney.
